on the stage... What I like about Perfect Friday is that everybody lies to each other and everybody believes each other's lies. I don't know if the audience realises it, but every time the characters speak to each other, they're lying. Director Peter Hall said the sex scenes "were meant to make fun of all those sex films that steam up the West End." Release Gene Siskel called the film "special entertainment." The New York Times'' said "Mr. Hall has made an intelligent and quietly funny film about three eccentrics, who are as attractively written as they are played."
